' ATTACHMENT FOR INK-BOTTLES.

nesonza Specification of Letters Patent. Pat nt d pl 31 1921 Application filed October 25, 1920. Serial No. 419,243.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY WoLrr, citizen of Germany, residing at New York city, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Attachments for Ink-Bottles, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to attachments for ink bottles of standard make, and the principal object is to provide a device of this nature which shall comprise a pen rack so constructed as to be easily secured to an ink bottle of standard make and to provide a support for a tilting device.

Another object is to provide a movable tilting device normally held against the sides of the ink bottle and adapted to be moved to a position to elevate one side of the bottle for tilting the same.

Another object is to provide a device of this nature which shall be simple of construction, cheap to manufacture, and efficient for the purpose for which it is desi ned.

With these and incidental objects in view, the invention consists of certain novel construction and combination and arrangement of parts, the essential features of which are hereinafter described and claimed, and are fully illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of an ink bottle with my improved attachment in place, the tilting device being shown in its normal folded condition.

Fig. 2 is a side elevational view showing the tilting device moved to tilting position.

Like reference characters refer to like parts in both views.

' Referring to the drawing in detail, 1 represents a length of wire one end of which is provided with a loop 2 and the other end with a bent down portion 8 adapted to enter said loop 2 and secure member 1 to the neck of a bottle 4. The member 1 is provided with curvilinear portions 5 adapted to fit snugly against the neck of the bottle, and is bent upon itself at 6 to form loops or bearings. From the loops 6 the wire 18 bent downwardly and then forwardly forming sides 7 and a bottom 8 of a pen rack. The wire is then bent upwardly forming other sides 9 of the rack and also providing bearings 10, the central portion 11 of the wire 1 connecting the two sides 9.

' A curved piece of wire 12 is provided at opposlte ends with hooks 13 which are seated in the loops or bearings (3, and serves to effect complete encircling of the neck of the bottle.

A third piece of wire is formed with a cross portion 14 and is coiled about the wire 1 at the bearings 10 and projects at an angle to portion 1 1 into a pair of legs 15 terminating in feet 16. Legs 15 are formed in sufficiently close relationship with each other to hug the sides of the bottle and maintain the position shown in Fig. 1 when not in use. Nhen there is only a small quantity of ink left in the bottle, the member -14.-15 is moved to the position shown in Fig. 2 so that the bottle is held in the tilted condition shown in Fig. 2.

While I have described what I deem to be the most desirable embodiment of my invention, it is obvious that many of the details may be varied without in any way departing from the spirit of my invention, and I therefore do not limit myself to the exact details of construction herein set forth nor to anything less than the whole of my invention limited only by the appended claims.

What is claimed as new is 1. An ink bottle attachment comprising a length of wire adapted to be secured to an ink bottle and having a portion bent up to form a pen rack, the bends forming a plu- .rality of bearings; and a second length of wire mounted in said bearings and provided with legs adapted to grasp the sides of said bottle when in one position and to effect tilting of said bottle when in another position.

2. A device of the class described comprising a length of wire adapted to be secured to an ink bottle and formed with a plurality of bearings, and a secondlength of wire mounted in said bearings and including means operable for effecting tilting of said bottle as and for the purpose set forth.

3. A device of the class described comprising a length of wire adapted to be secured to an ink bottle and formed with a plurality of bearings, a second length of Wire mounted in certain of said bearings for securing the device in place, and a third length of Wire mounted in certain of said bearings and operable for effecting tilting of said bottle.

4. In a device of the class described, the combination with an ink bottle of a tilting mechanism therefor comprising a tilting member having a pair of legs adapted When in one position to grip the sides of the bot- 10 In testimony whereof I have afliXed my 15 signature.

HENRY .WOLFF.
